"Say it!"

The ANBU captain glanced at Danzo, and seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was not paying attention, he began to report:

"The Fourth Mizukage said that this war was started by the manipulated Third Mizukage. Now that he is in power, he asked us if we should continue to fight.

"If we want to fight, he will stay with us until Kirigakure is completely victorious.

"If we don't fight, we can sit down and talk."

After listening to the report, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo: "Danzo, what do you think?"

Danzo didn't hesitate at all: "No fight, stop fighting immediately."

In Danzo's view, this war was a conspiracy of the Uchiha clan.

And he just needs to do the opposite of the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Well, I also think it's time to cease the war. Just reply to Mizukage like this."

"yes!"

The ANBU captain nodded and quickly left the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at Danzo twice.

In my impression, it seemed that he had not agreed with Danzo for a long time. Fortunately, there was no disagreement between the two regarding the armistice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could more or less guess the reason why Danzo chose to cease the war, and it was most likely related to the Uchiha clan.

As for himself.

Even if there was no such thing as Uchiha, I was still looking forward to an early ceasefire, but I had never found a suitable opportunity before.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, fighting is a bad idea.

It doesn't matter if he can easily crush and win, but once the two sides reach a stalemate, he doesn't want to fight.

After all, as the number of casualties in Konoha continues to increase, there will always be a day when there are not enough ninjas.

Then the Sarutobi clan, which he worked so hard to develop and grow, will go to war.

Now that he had finally increased the number of his clan members to several thousand, it would not be good if they were lost on the battlefield.

Anyway, if he doesn’t want to work hard, how can he make money if he works hard?

So now that he has the opportunity, he immediately chooses to cease the war.

As for the Uchiha clan, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen said there was no conclusive evidence, he could not make a conclusion.

But in fact, he had the same thoughts as Danzo, and believed that the Uchiha clan had a traitor behind their backs.

It's just that he is more conservative compared to the radical Danzo.

He was worried that the power of the Uchiha clan was beyond his imagination and he would attack before he was ready. What if he lost?

So he decided to observe it for a while longer.

While finding out the truth of this matter, we also need to find out the strength of the Uchiha clan in case of emergencies.

...

After a while, Konoha's meaning came back to Ayantian's ears.

He was not surprised at all by this. He could only say that Konoha was still the same Konoha and everything was as expected.

Then Ayaten replied, saying that she wanted to talk to Sarutobi Hiruzen directly.

Ask Konoha to cooperate and connect the communication between the Mizukage office and the Hokage office.

Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen had no objection to this.

Then a strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

I saw that the communication troops on both sides' front lines set off carrying their own equipment and met at the intersection of the battle lines.

Obviously two days ago, the two sides were fighting to the death, but now they are getting together to debug the equipment.

If the "shadows" of both sides hadn't given death orders, they might have started fighting on the spot.

After several tests, the communication between the two parties was finally connected.

Ayaten and Hiruzen Sarutobi put on their respective wireless communication devices and started talking.

"We haven't seen you for a few months. How is the Third Hokage's health lately?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied: "I am in good health, but you, on the other hand, have become the Fourth Mizukage in the blink of an eye."

Ayatian smiled and said:

"Thank you Konoha for this. If it hadn't been for your help, I might not have been able to become a Mizukage so early."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that? If you have anything to do, you might as well tell me."

Ayatian smiled and said: "Hokage, the person who controls the Third Mizukage has a pair of Sharingan eyes. You don't understand what I mean, do you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened when he heard this.

He originally thought that Kirigakure didn't know the identity of the controller.

After all, "Susanoh" is very rare. Except for them, the elders of Konoha, others basically cannot recognize that this thing belongs to Uchiha.

In this way, the war between Kirigakure and Konoha will not be involved, and Konoha does not need to be responsible for this matter.

However, what he didn't expect was that the person controlling the Third Mizukage would actually expose his Sharingan.

Now they in Konoha couldn't wash themselves away even if they jumped into the sea.

'Damn Uchiha, why do you want to reveal your identity!'

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down and replied: "So you mean, we Konoha started this war?"

Ayatian nodded:

"Of course, we Kirigakure are a peace-loving village. Look at the previous 'Second Ninja War', didn't we participate in it?

"This time you Konoha people have forcibly dragged us into the 'Third Ninja War'. Now if you want to end the war, you have to show something, right?"

More than half a year has passed since the war between Kirigakure and Konoha began.

Most of the time, Kirigakure had the advantage.

Now that there is a ceasefire, and it is Konoha who has taken the initiative to ask for a ceasefire, Ayatian naturally wants to gain more benefits.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the war these past few months have been in vain?

If he signs an armistice agreement without getting any benefits, then his reputation as the newly appointed Mizukage will suffer greatly.

So whether it was for himself or the village, he had to blackmail Konoha.

After listening to this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood what Ayaten meant.
